New PAC backs political newcomers in Dallas ISD election

A new political action committee, called Destination DISD, has been created just in time for the May 11 election.

The listed treasure is Dan Wyde, an attorney familiar with public office. Wyde, a former criminal courts judge, made headlines several years ago during a failed run in the Republican primary for Dallas County district attorney. He spent time during his campaign addressing past ethic complaints made against him. (Read a related blog post here).

As for the PAC, Wyde could not be reached for comment. The committee’s mission is unclear but likely will focus on changing the board – as it’s backing three newcomers and no incumbents. The front page of the PAC’s website reads: “Destination DISD: We won’t get fooled again.”

Destination DISD lists the names of candidates it’s supporting in filing paperwork with Dallas ISD. The candidates are Rafael Narvaez III, a law firm office manager, for District 7; Linda Wilkerson-Wynn, a community activist, for District 5; and auditor Luis Hernandez for District 4.
